Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is set to name his final 23 players for the 2019 AFCON on Monday June 10, 2019.

Appiah initially named a 29 man provisional for pre-tournament camping which is already underway in Dubai, UAE.

A knee injury to St. Gallen defender Musah Nuhu has forced him to pull out from the squad which has decreased the number of players in camp to 28 players.

Five players will be cut from the team that will be looking to end Ghana’s 37-year wait for a trophy.

Ghana has been paired in Group F alongside defending champions Cameroon, Benin and Guinea Bissau.

The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Benin on June 25, 2019 at the Ismail Sports Stadium.
